CHERCHE COLOCATION

J’ai choisi une maison à l’avenue de l’Agau, Lattes, Montpellier. C’est une maison assez grande avec 5 chambres très accueillantes et spacieuses. Il y a aussi deux salles de bains. Le prix est abordable, seulement 450€. J’aime bien qu’il ait du jardin et aussi du parking, parce qu'est plus pratique et aussi avec le jardin, tu peux déconnecter du travail ou d’étudier sûr là. Aussi si tu as des animaux ils n’ont pas passé le jour fermé dans la maison. Elle est bien située, dans un lieu très tranquille, mais près d’une grande ville (Montpellier). Aussi il y a la rivière Lez passe à côté de la maison et les vues sont précieuses !

NAPOLEON'S STORY

The story that I will tell you happened in 1942, when my grandmother was teen years old. She was living in Banyoles with her parents and her younger sister. She was in 4^th school year in the primary school and at that moment they were studying Napoleon in History. My grandmother’s uncle’s name is Napoleon, so when my grandmother saw what they studied, she was very excited.

The teacher started the lesson with a question: Who is Napoleon?

My grandmother rise her hand, so the teacher asked her:

- Serra! Who Napoleon is?

- My uncle, teacher.

All the students laughed and she blushed.

- Can you repeat that, Serra? – asked the teacher, who was getting angry.

- I said that he’s my uncle, teacher.

- This is not funny! Do you know what’s really funny? Your mark, a zero!

My grandmother went back home very sad and she started to do her homework. A few minutes later her mom arrived from the market.

- Montserrat? What’s wrong? Why are you crying?

My grandmother explained her what had happened at school.

The following day, my great grandmother went to the school to talk to Montserrat’s teacher and she explained that her brother’s name is Napoleon, and that my grandmother hasn’t said that like a joke; she answered that because it’s true!

After that, the teacher talked to my grandmother, she apologised to Montserrat and she erased the zero from his notebook. She was a bit angry because though the answer was true, it wasn’t correct, but at least she didn’t have a zero.

My grandmother always explained me this story when I was a toddler, and now, sixty two years later, her friends still remember that story! 

LES VOYAGES EN TRAIN

Je crois que les histoires d’amour c’est comme les voyages en train,

tu sais que celui qui t’aime te donnera la main,

et alors, tu te sentiras libre,

et tu lui diras qu’à son côté tu voudras vivre.

CARTA A LA MINISTRA DE EDUCACIÓN

Estimada ministra Dra. Ligia Amada Melo de Cardona:

Doy curso a esta carta presentándome brevemente. Mi nombre es Gemma, y soy una profesora colaboradora procedente de España que hace unos años empezó a trabajar en una escuela a las afueras de Santo Domingo. En ella estudian 225 alumnos de entre 6 y 11 años de edad. La escuela consta de un aula para cada curso, un comedor y un patio. Entre todos los docentes del centro hemos realizado un proyecto para construir un aula de música en la escuela, pero esta no tiene el suficiente capital como para poder costearlo. Por ese motivo, le pedimos en este documento, una ayuda económica para que nuestros alumnos puedan estudiar y practicar música en nuestro centro. El equipo docente cree que el proyecto es positivo para los estudiantes ya que esta ayuda a mejorar en muchos aspectos el rendimiento de los estudiantes. Por ejemplo, les obliga a aprender a organizarse, que les será de mucha utilidad en su futuro, mejora su memoria y les ayuda a desatar su creatividad. Los niños que estudian música a menudo tienen más capacidad de concentración, y no solo se limitan a aprender aspectos del ámbito musical, sino que los conceptos trabajados pueden relacionarse con las matemáticas, el arte o la lengua, al aprender canciones en un idioma que no es el suyo.

Esperamos que tenga en cuenta esta petición a la hora de financiar los proyectos musicales escolares y pedimos al mismo tiempo, que se tengan más en cuenta.

Atentamente le saluda,

Gemma Ayats Güell

Santo Domingo, 1 de Abril de 2015.

ARE YOU FOR OR AGAINST USING ANIMALS FOR MEDICAL RESEARCH?

Every year between 50 and 100 million animals are used for medical research. The more used ones are rats, because one of them has 95% of its similar genes to humans and it’s easy to get more, so in 2001, 80 million rats were sacrificed for a medical research experiment, but, it’s necessary to kill all these animals only for medical research? There are arguments both for and against this practice.

One of the arguments for animal testing is that thanks to their similarity to humans we have discovered many cures to different diseases, like the vaccines against the tuberculosis or the meningitis; also we have helped to the survival of cancer. In addition, we can experiment without the fear of losing a person, we can have a lot of rats and we don’t care if they finally die, but a person has family and a life and we can’t take the risk to lose this.

On the other hand, the medical research using animals is not 100% efficient because animals are not humans so maybe they can survive to a treatment that causes a human death or maybe a human disease is too much hard for an animal. Also even though humans are more important than animals, they’re important too; without them, the planet will be a big disaster, so we can’t kill all the animals we want to because that’s not good. Animals have the same rights to live which humans have.

All in all, I’m in favour of use animals for medical research because I think that with this method we can improve so much in medicine but I think that we should try to kill fewer animals.
